The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1354

By the time Lucian hung up and returned to the private room, he saw Roxanne lowering her head and reading something on her phone.

The scowl on her face made him frown. He figured she was reading the contents of the discussion.

“You know about it already?” Lucian asked as he walked over to sit beside her.

Roxanne did not look up. She kept her eyes fixed on the post that was constantly updating with insulting comments targeted at her.

There were also comments that speculated the background of Archie and Benny.

Roxanne could bear the insults hurled at her. However, she could not help but feel bad when her children were dragged into the mess as well.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?”

Estella was oblivious to the discussions online. She inched over to show her concern.

It was then that Roxanne snapped back to her senses. Putting away her phone hastily, she flashed Estella a smile as if nothing happened. “It’s nothing. Eat up.”

With that, she cast Archie and Benny an apologetic glance.

The boys had guessed there were changes to the discussions on the internet.

They surmised the reason Roxanne was giving them that look was that they had been dragged into the discussion as well.

Not wanting to make Roxanne worry, they feigned ignorance and smiled meekly.

At the same time, Benny secretly clenched his fists.

That evil woman must’ve done something again. I’ll teach her a lesson once I get back to my laptop.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not dealing with it properly.” Lucian gazed into the woman’s eyes with worry.

Before entering the private room, he had read the discussions online, which were filled with insulting and degrading comments toward Roxanne.

Immediately, he knew she would be upset if she read them.

Glancing at the children, Roxanne whispered to Lucian, “Let’s talk after the meal.”

Lowering her head, Roxanne uttered, “I’m not bothered about what they’re saying about me. This isn’t the first time, anyway. I just hope that Archie and Benny won’t get dragged into this mess. They have nothing to do with this.”

Lucian felt a twinge in his heart. “I know. I’ll settle this as quickly as possible.”

When he finished his sentence, he gave her a conflicted look and asked cautiously, “It’s been so long. Can you tell me who Archie and Benny’s father is already?”

Every time he pictured Roxanne with another man, he could not help but feel mad, not to mention she had children with another man.

Regardless, all he wanted at that moment was to keep her by his side.

No matter how much he cared about the past, he had no choice but to feign indifference.

After all, the boys shared Roxanne’s blood, too.

Lucian would still treat Archie and Benny as if they were his own.

Still, he could not help but feel curious about their father’s identity.
